Meandering In Lotus Land: Sikh Celebration

Monday 15 April 2013

Saturday was Vaisakhi day in my neighbourhood.

The parade must cover 4 or 5 miles and a lot of people walk the whole thing.

From the time they leave Ross Street Temple until they get back must take 6 hours or more.

The parade stops a lot.
